DescriptionY Felin, a traditional stone-built water-powered corn mill, dates from at least the 1640s but may be associated with the adjacent Abbey (nprn 94164) and may thus be earlier. A third storey was added to the mill in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, with new machinery installed 1820-1825. The mill worked until 1926, reopening briefly during the second World War; it was restored from 1980 and is currently operational commercially and open to the public. The overshot waterwheel incorporates cast-iron shrouds from St David's mill (Felin Fach or Dewiston Mill, St David's, nprn 40226) , but set on the original axle and cast-iron hubs which date from about 1860 (Thomas and Co. Cardigan). The original wheel was retrieved and installed at Y Felin, Tynygraig (nprn 24707). There are three pairs of stones and a bolter; an intact oat drying kiln is in lean-to building.
